China's Vice Premier Li Keqiang has given in to demands from Apple that the country increase IP protection.
If Reuters is correct, Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook appears to have given Keqiang a Chinese burn until he finally agreed to do what ever Apple said. If only other world leaders took the same approach, China would be less of a problem on the world stage.
Cook has been locked in talks with Keqiang and has been demanding that he step in and sort out that little trademark problem Apple is having.
Apple iPads were banned from the shelves when it turned out that another company had trademarked the name before Steve Jobs thought of it. Apparently the Chinese use of a trademark which should have fallen to Apple the moment Jobs thought of it was on the agenda. Cook felt that China should stand up against IP theft, but only when it is wealthy American IP.
Apple is also in hot water because of the way that its affiliates treat staff.
What was a little surprising was how Keqiang seemed to retreat on previous tough stances from the Communist authorities after his meeting with Cook. He said that it was a condition for China to transform its economic development, expand domestic demands and conduct technological innovation.
Keqiang is tipped to be China's next premier in a leadership move that begins later this year. It appears that his remit is to call for multinational companies to "pay more attention to caring for workers" in China.
Cook promised that Apple will conduct business in a law-abiding and honest manner, so major reforms promised there too.

The Chinese are not so much inscrutable but are being respectful because they had 2 real saints/Divine Incarnations in addition to one who became a Divine Incarnation to managed them via their cultural heritage - that of Introspection and Respect [which has 5 dimensionalities]. Whether the general populace have truly realised their Respect or not, Respect is and will still be there performing its duty until “Demonocracy” despatches the general populace down the Sinkhole of Humanity. Respect means Value-Valuation, oka Absolute Discrimination. This is why “Easterners” brought up with respect will innately reflect it as a taboo which most will then find it hard to trespass. Unbeknownst to and the realisation of “Westerners”/those of Might via their Fame, Fortune & Immortality [FF&I], The Heart/Self is much stronger than The Liver/Brain/Others which is why “Blow ‘Em Uppers” and “Kamikaze” are implementable. As all addicts know, desire is much stronger than will-power. Afterall, Femininity is Power/The-Kinetic whereas Masculinity is Knowledge/The-Potential. Got eet yet or is one still malingering within FF&I.
When birth is merely the journey towards death, Might is but a revolving door. When you have a partial human trying to act as if it is a full human, the natives will find a way of addressing the abandoned nutter posing as some control freak. A revolving door which will send you on your way towards where you really belonged. Afterall, when you treat another as The Living-Dead through the pretence that you are The Living, all you’ll ever get in return is Innocence - the opportunity/mirror for your reflection & introspection, which for hypocrisy and insincerity, merely ends up despatching the Tag-Alongs of Chosen Few-sim further into their dungeons. Who would refused to accept the rope offered to enable them to climb out of the pit they are trapped in? Those who think the rope is a snake. Those who see eveything as Might/Width/Knowledge, much like when The Judiciary/Potential tries to be The Police/Kinetic too as all corrupt “judges” are doing. Should your cup be full, first ensure that it is filled with reality. “Reuter” is A Chosen Few par excellence and will “News” as it sees fit. No one can own another because ultimately, that is the sign that he had already been owned.
